External File

The user can also import the near field points from a text file. This file can then be imported by selecting External File into the Geometry Types combo-box. Note that this option imports a file of points, but does not preserve the near field type (i.e. every point is imported as a separate type). In order to preserve the near field type, the Export file and Import file must be used instead.

The external file must contain a list of points given by its X, Y and Z coordinates, with every point specified in separated lines.

Click on OK button to insert the observation points from the file, or abort the insertion by clicking on Cancel button.
